Supporting All Cardmakers

Jeff and I have been creating handmade greeting cards for a few years now.  I am a greeting card junkie.  I make them, buy them, and collect them.  I use them when writing to my 25+ penpals around the world.  I was sad when one of my favorite cardmakers closed her Etsy shop a couple of years as I like to help support hobby and small business cardmakers like Jeff and me.  We have an Etsy shop (www.paperowlartists.etsy.com) we'd love you to visit and, we sell at a local Maker's Marketplace a few times a year.  We also make custom orders (email us if you have a card you'd like made, paperowlartists@gmail.com).   But, I also invite you to visit (and shop) other cardmakers on Etsy and elsewhere.  Here are just a few Etsy shops I've purchased cards from, their shop names below each card photo.  If you love greeting cards, please consider supporting handmade cardmakers this holiday season :-)

Remember, it's never too early to think Christmas!

New Grandson - New Baby Card!

A new grand baby is on the way today - a grandson, to be exact.  In honor of his arrival (the little guy's name is yet to be decided), Jeff has made this special welcome card.

I love the card - the old fashioned bathtub, the textured towel, and of course the yellow "rubber" duckie.  And even the bubbles look real !

      Textured card stock for the towel

        White vellum for the bubbles

The inside of the card is white card stock edged in blue ink however, I asked Jeff this morning to add another yellow duckie on the inside lower right corner of the card to carry through the card theme.  Maybe I'll suggest he add a few bubbles as well??  

And while I'm in an asking mood, maybe Jeff will make a few additional cards in both blue and pink for our Etsy shop.  Jeff???
